Chapter 118: The Sun and the Moon Change the Sky
"However, I'm a little reluctant to settle for other spells that don't suit me well." Gu Xu sighed lightly and said.
That's the annoyance of having too many options.
What you get is never perfect.
And what you can't get is always in turmoil.
When the headquarters of the Exorcism Division offers rewards, they always like to dazzle the monks with an entire catalogue - isn't this a way to motivate the monks to work hard by drawing a big pie?
Seeing the young man's solemn eyes, Chen Jisheng smiled and said, "Gu Xu, do you remember what I said to you when I first taught you to draw the 'Taishang Arctic Town Demon Killing Talisman'?" β
Gu Xu replied without thinking: "To draw a rune, you must abide by strict rules, if you draw a wrong stroke, the rune will not take effect." β
"However, after a few weeks, you have made improvements to the 'Ghost Killing Talisman' according to your own ideas, making it several times more powerful than before," Chen Jisheng said in a relaxed tone, "From that time on, I thought that all the spells in this world were just references to you.
"Gu Xu, your goal is to become a saint before the age of thirty. And you also know that if you want to be transcendent, you must find your own 'way' - when you have your own 'way', even if the 'way' of your predecessors really has hidden dangers, then there is nothing to fear. β
Gu Xu was silent for two seconds and nodded: "Indeed." β
Chen Jisheng is indeed his unknown teacher.
Although Chen Jisheng is no longer able to give him guidance on his cultivation as often as he used to, he can help him clear the fog and recognize his true heart with his rich spiritual experience and life experience on this critical issue.
I saw Chen Jisheng smile, and then said: "Actually, your eyes have long told me that you are very confident in this matter. β
He knew that Gu Xu was a person with a steady personality.
But sometimes, steadiness means too many worriesβand it is these concerns that make Gu Xu not look like a seventeen-year-old boy at all.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After returning home, Gu Xu took out the "Divine Machine Token" and tried to contact Chu Fengge.
A moment later, a message sent by Chu Fengge appeared in his field of vision-
γKun: You've finally chosen the spell you want?γ γ
[Suzaku: Yes, Lord Chu. I'm going to choose "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven". γ
[Kun: "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky"? That spell that no one has practiced for hundreds of years, and you want to choose it? γ
[Suzaku: I've made up my mind. γ
Kun: Uh, okay...... I'm going to tell the Chief. γ
[Suzaku: Thank you, Lord Chu! γ
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Luojing City, the headquarters of the Exorcism Division.
At this moment, Chu Fengge was in retreat and cultivation in the retreat room.
The message sent by Gu Xu through the "Divine Machine Token" interrupted his meditation.
Chu Fengge sat cross-legged in place, stunned for a while, and said silently in his heart: Gu Xu, this kid, is really getting more and more arrogant - when he got the "Amazing Pen", he thought he was very great, and he actually wanted to try to challenge the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", which is known as the most difficult to cultivate in the headquarters of the Exorcism Division? Who does he think he is? The reincarnation of the immortals? True Monarch Reborn?
However, at this time, Chu Fengge suddenly remembered that Lord Si Shou had personally said that Gu Xu's guy had an unprecedented first-grade talent, and he also had an extremely noble destiny - this level of talent, compared to the reincarnation of an immortal, I am afraid it is not much worse.
So Chu Fengge sighed again, bored with why he was born in the same era as such a demon.
Chu Fengge, as a close confidant of the head Luo Chuan, naturally he had secretly read the book "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky".
Because he knew that if he could successfully learn this spell, then he could stand in front of the world with his head held high, proudly proclaiming that he was "a genius that has not been encountered in a hundred years" and "the pride of the first day of the Great Qi Dynasty".
It's a pity that he is not the one who is favored by fate.
In his eyes, "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky" is a book of heaven that he can't read at all.
He really couldn't understand why there were countless complicated runes in a fire attribute spellβjust looking at it made people dizzy and deeply uncomfortable.
So before he could get started, he decisively chose to give up.
At the same time, he often said to others: "Smart people are practicing swords, and only fools will practice thankless things like the Seven Styles of Burning the Sky." β
And Shangguan Jin also sneered at him because of this: "Then you are not as good as a fool." β
Chu Fengge didn't care about her words.
Because he knew that Shangguan Jin had secretly flipped through "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky" in private, but she refused to admit it even if she was killed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this moment, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, quietly appeared by Chu Fengge's side.
Chu Fengge immediately stood up from the ground, bowed to Luo Si Shou and said, "I've seen Lord Si Shou." β
I only heard Luo Chuan say lightly: "Which spell did Gu Xu choose?" β
Chu Fengge replied, "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky." β
Luo Chuan was silent for a moment and muttered, "This is indeed the most suitable for him." β
"Why did the chief say that?" Chu Fengge asked.
"If there is anyone in this world who can learn and understand this spell left by Chiyangzi, it must be Gu Xu," Luo Chuan replied lightly, "Because he understands the runes, understands the formation, and cultivates the exercises of the fire attribute, which meets all the conditions for learning the Seven Styles of Burning the Sky."
In addition, in the process of cultivation, he never cared about the conventions or rules left by his predecessors. Although he is still a novice in Taoism, he has the courage to break with tradition. β
Speaking of this, Luo Chuan paused for a few seconds, turned his head and asked Chu Fengge, "Do you know what the true meaning of the Great Dao hidden in the Seven Styles of Burning Sky is?" β
Chu Fengge shook his head and replied honestly, "I don't understand. β
He couldn't even understand the content of "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky", let alone comprehend its true meaning.
Luo Chuan sighed and replied, "Actually, I don't quite understand what the 'Dao' that Chiyangzi pursued back then. I only know that the last form of "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky" is called 'Sun and Moon Change the New Sky' - I think, maybe this is the answer to the question, and it is also the reason why Chiyangzi went crazy back then! β
Chu Fengge hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lord Si Shou, if Gu Xu cultivates this Seven Styles of Burning Heaven, then will he also be able to go mad like Chiyangzi's predecessors in the future?" β
Luo Chuan replied: "Chu Fengge, you have to understand that when Gu Xu cultivates any spell, he will never be rigid, but will integrate it and transform it into his own. You should learn more from him in the future. β
"That's what the head said." Chu Fengge lowered his head and said.
From today onwards, there will be another "other person's child" in Chu Fengge's life.
